"Jan. 6 Defendant Known as QAnon Shaman Sentenced to 41 Months
Jacob Chansley, who wore a horned helmet and a fur pelt as he stormed onto the Senate floor during the Capitol riot, had earlier pleaded guilty to a single felony count.
"This circuslike atmosphere continued on Wednesday as scores of people attended a court hearing where Mr. Watkins asked Judge Lamberth to heal the countrys divisions by issuing a fair sentence. Mr. Watkins told the judge that he could mete out justice and emphasize common ground upon which all of us can somehow bridge this great divide.
"When Mr. Chansley addressed the court, he quoted Jesus, Gandhi and Justice Clarence Thomas. He went on to discuss his tattoos, his late grandfathers role in his life and the prison movie The Shawshank Redemption.
"He also apologized for his role in attacking the Capitol, saying that in the days since, he has often looked into the mirror and told himself, You really messed up, royally.
